So we have been so blessed in the past few weeks. It's been difficult this year turning all my decisions over to the Lord. With Cody graduating and us having a baby there have been a lot of decisions to be made and lots of events to prepare for: Where to work, to accept a job or not, to move or not, how to raise a baby, what to name a baby. The list goes on and on. Through out this whole process I have felt comforted that everything would be taken care of and work out for the best if I just had faith.
That faith proved itself when Cody was offered a job here in Fort Collins. It's not the job that we were expecting, but it's working out best for our family. It proved itself again when I was offered the Math Department Head / Instructional Leader position at my work. It's not a position that I would have ordinarily put myself out there to get, but it's something that I felt very strongly about. But probably most strangely and yet most evident it proved itself in the recent purchase and selling of jeeps. Cody had been on the search for a new "baby friendly" vehicle. Something more reliable than his '89 Jeep Cherokee. (Yes that means I was 4-years old when it was made.)
The Saturday of spring break Cody found a jeep and said "We have to go right now to go look at it." So we did. It was perfect and waaaaayyyy underpriced. Everything about it felt right so we bought it (that's it in the picture). But those blessing didn't stop there. We still needed to sell his Cherokee. Last night we placed an add on Craigslist as 11:45 and at 8:00 the next morning we had an offer. Not only that, but the interested buyer was (is?) currently investigating the church. We were able to answer some questions and help him out with his current situation.
It's amazing to me that as hard as I work to make things happen, all it really takes is Faith and everything just falls together.
Oh... and for my sisters...
